Night Panther

Chapter 2

By: Emerald Cat

--Hogwarts, England--

Albus Dumbledore sat behind his desk, his head lowered into his withered, and old hands. His shoulders were drooped and blue eyes dull. Fawkes gave a small, sad trill and fluttered over to the headmaster. Slowly the headmaster of Hogwart's head raised it from his hands and stared at the group gathered around his office.

Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Molly and Arthur Weasley sat in soft plush chairs, each waiting anxiously for the news.(Well everyone but Sevvie that is!) They knew that for the headmaster to bring them all together something had to have happened.

"I'm sorry to announce to you all today, but earlier this week Harry Potter was found missing from the Dursley house."

--------

All the way down in The Great Hall the students, having just awakened, jumped at the sound of a faint high pitched scream.

--------

Back in the headmasters office, Severus stared down condescendingly at an unconscious Sirius Black, "Well that was certainly interesting." Severus said mockingly.

--Xavier's School for the Gifted, America--

A small black haired boy lay down in a sterile, white room, his breathing deep and even as he slowly gained consciousness. A small mewl escaped his pink lips and his back arched off the hospital bed.

Harry's eyes fluttered open and he flinched at the sudden appearance of a woman hovering over his bed.

"Hello. My name is Jean and I was told to take you to the Professor's office when you awakened." The red head said sweetly.

Harry stared up at her blankly for a minute with his wide eyes before he quickly hopped of the bed and made his way towards the door. He looked back at her startled face expectantly. Jean jumped and hurriedly made her way out, all the while giving Harry a tour of the mansion.

--------

As the saying goes, when a proud man is challenged they never back down, and a challenge was taking place between two powerful people at that very moment. Harry Potter stared at the bald man curiously his furry ears twitching and his tail swaying to the beat of his heart. His green eyes were wide and the calm man behind the desk sat in his wheel chair and laughed. Not just any laugh, but a full, loud, wonderfully joyous laugh.

Harry's green eyes twinkled, as understanding passed between them. His full lips twitched in amusement and his tail wrapped around his leg.

--Grimmauld Place, London--

An emergency order meeting had been called in the recent event of Harry's disappearance. The members sat around the large table that occupied the gloomy kitchen. Few had their hands in their heads at the depressing thoughts going through out their minds. Besides the few sad people occupying the room, most had looks of glee on their faces.

"I want Harry Potter found." Dumbledore said threateningly. His eyes were hard, he wanted his weapon back, and without Potter they were nothing.

Sirius' head snapped up, "NO!" he said coldly, "You or anyone else in this little…group are going anywhere near my godson!" he said as he spat out the word 'group' like it had made a bad taste in his mouth.

Remus stood up behind him his amber eyes glowing; the wolf was near the surface, having risen up when at the news of his cub's disappearance. Fred and George Weasley, the newest members of the order, looked at Dumbledore as if he had lost his mind, which might I add is nothing short of a dog having four legs.

"Should I remind you that if it weren't for me you would still be rotting away behind that veil. I can send you straight back to Azkaban if you really want me too." Dumbledore said harshly, eyes lighting up with glee as Sirius' face paled.

Remus growled lowly, "You will do no such thing Dumbledore! Me and Sirius are leaving, and if you so much as even think of getting anywhere near me, my mate, and especially MY cub, I will rip your eyes out, stuff them down your throat and castrate you, then ill trap you in a cave with no way out and watch you die slowly and painfully!"

Dumbledore's eyes widened comically. Remus growled again, even more loudly than before and stalked from the house, dragging Sirius along behind him.

The order sat in shock, and then Fred and George stood up and started to leave as well.

"Where do you think your going young men?" Molly shouted shrilly, hands on her hips.

"We're leaving…and never…coming back...you should all…be ashamed…of yourselves...you have…no…right…to treat...OUR…baby brother...like he's…nothing!" They said, switching off every couple of words. They turned around and left, ignoring their mother's yelling, following Sirius and Remus and help protect their baby brother.

--------

Three sets of eyes widened behind the kitchen door. They pulled their ears away from the door and looked at each other.

"Thank Merlin that bloody Potter is gone!" Ron Weasley hissed scathingly.

"To right you are Ronald!" Hermione sniffed in disdain, her nose in the air in a sad mockery of a pureblood.

Ginny nodded her head vigorously, eyes narrowed in hate, "Now we can stop pretending to be nice to that attention seeking bastard!"

They all looked at each other again. Their eyes brightened and they started to laugh in malicious glee.

--Professor X's Office, America--

Harry sat in the professor's lap, purring in contentment. After their silent conversation, Harry had taken an instant liking to the professor. He knew all of Harry's secrets and he still wasn't afraid of him.

Xavier sat back in his wheelchair, his hand softly petting the small boy behind the ears. He smiled warmly, he already thought of this child as his grandson, just the thought of finally have a family again warming up his heart even more.

Harry's arms wrapped around his new adopted grandpapa's waist and he nuzzled his chest, purring as his grandpapa found just the right spot to scratch. Xavier chuckled deeply.

"No matter the consequences Harry, you will always be my grandson from now on. I wont let anyone hurt you ever again." He said softly, the love rolling off of him in waves.

Harry looked up at him in happiness, "Really?" the small boy asked hopefully.

"Of course" he replied.

Harry smiled happily, then frowned his ears drooping, "But what about Siri and Remy?" he said sadly his emerald eyes shining with tears, "and Fred and George?"

"Oh Harry, you never know they could be out there right no looking for you, worried if you're all right or safe!" Xavier soothed reassuringly.

Harry just buried his head in his grandpapa's chest his eyes leaking tears as he silently sobbed his big, golden heart out and his tail curling around his grandpapa's lower leg.

Xavier whispered sweet nothing's in his grandson's ears, slowly swaying back and forth, his thoughts in chaos.

'For Harry's sake I hope he has someone out there who cares enough to come out and find him.' he thought sadly. Looking down he saw Harry fast asleep, tear tracks down his face, some still clinging to his thick lashes. Xavier pulled Harry closer to himself leaning his chin to rest on the top of his messy raven hair.
